OK I'm back. It was not a mistake.
The final builds had to go to "manufacturing" whatever that is by a certain date in order to be available as a "Gold" image for disk burning. The same version is on the web site - why I don't know.
Meanwhile, a "HotFix" patch (not a complete SR, just a few files replaced) was prepared that included the normal map omission, as well as some splotchy IDL fixes.
I thought this HotFix was to be offered immediately, and you guys would have the same version I do. For whatever reason, that was not the case.
The HotFix will be available by the end of the week. Keep an eye out for it. It will be a very small download.
There are still more GI improvements already in-progress that will appear in the first Service Release. That's also likely when we'll be able to provide the option for large thumbnails in the Library. But that might come sooner in a hot fix too, perhaps not the same one.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
